Cappadora Family

review 1: 2 STARS"It has been twenty-two years since Beth Cappadora's three-year-old son Ben was abducted. By some miracle, he returned nine years later, and the family began to pick up the pieces of their lives. But their peace has always been fragile: Ben returned from the deep end as another child and has never felt entirely at ease with the family he was born into. Now the Cappadora children are grown: Ben is married with a baby girl, Kerry is studying to be an opera singer, and Vincent has emerged from his troubled adolescence as a fledgling filmmaker.The subject of Vincent's new documentary, 'No Time to Wave Goodbye,' shakes Vincent's unsuspecting family to the core; it focuses on five families caught in the tortuous web of never knowing the fate of their abducted children. Th... moreough Beth tries to stave off the torrent of buried emotions, she is left wondering if she and her family are fated to relive the past forever.The film earns tremendous acclaim, but just as the Cappadoras are about to celebrate the culmination of Vincent's artistic success, what Beth fears the most occurs, and the Cappadoras are cast back into the past, revisiting the worst moment of their lives-with only hours to find the truth that can save a life. High in a rugged California mountain range, their rescue becomes a desperate struggle for survival." (From Amazon)Sometimes you hope that an author will write a sequel to their novel so that you can find out what happens to your favourite characters. After I finished The Deep End of the Ocean I did wonder what happened next for everyone but I don't think I should have wished for it. It is well written but I just didn't get into it and it did not feel like it was relevant or interesting.
review 2: Part Two of the Cappadora's story. Vincent has just made a documentary about people whose children are kidnapped and never found. Ben is married with this own family and Kerry has become a singer. But on Oscar night their live's are changed again - someone takes Ben's baby and they relive the horror of when Ben was taken.When I read the first book I couldn't put it down I thought it was a strong story told very eloquently. I didn't feel the same connection to this story until about 2/3 through the book. The last third was much easier and more entertaining to read. less
